I was looking at the pictures I took last night and I thought you may need something funny to cheer you up on this dreary Friday (at least around here it is dreary) .
So here it is, my review of Frances dress in raindrop lace:
I grabbed this dress as I was heading to the fitting room. I didn't think it would work for me, and I don't need a dress like that, but since some JCAs seemed to like the raindrop lace in the tee, I thought I would try it on.
This is size 8 and I think the fit is correct. It seems like this year I am 8 in all the dresses.
I think I liked being size 6 better :( Oh, well.
I do think they are cut a little smaller this year, but I might have also gained a few pounds, time to hit the gym more often. Sigh.
Anyway, the color of the dress (apricot mist) is nice. It is definitely a special occasion dress, maybe for a wedding, graduation, First Communion or something like that. It is long, almost maxi length. It is past the point when longer dresses look better with heels, I think this one would be better with flats.
It needs some accessorizing, so you don't just blend into the background, unless your skin is darker and then it might be fabulous color on its own. But still, I think it would benefit from a darker/brighter skinny belt, maybe a redwood brown or deep purple? The necklace would compete with the pretty lace, so I think no necklace, but maybe earrings?
Actually, I think all this is a moot point. Because then I looked at the side view.
Finally I have an A**!!! I was never blessed in this department. Look:

| Flass! |
I though, maybe it needs some steaming? And then I looked the the stock picture.
OMG, it is there too! Even on this skinny lass!

On the other hand, when you think about it, $325 is not too bad, if were considering enhancement job.
Enough said.

Did I make you laugh?
Can this dress be salvaged?
